Savage 308 question

[Deerhunter28]

I have a 10/110 FCP HS Precision in 308.
Is this the same as a 10 FCP 5R HS?
If not what is the difference?
I can't find the 10 FCP 5R HS on Savage's website?
Thanks

5R is referring to the lands of the barrel. They are cut at an angle, which is supposed to make them clean easier and foul less. I don't think Savage does that kind of rifling, so (if I am correct) the barrel would be from another barrel maker. Either one of them should shoot fine. Savage Shooters site would be a good resource, if no one here is certain.

I have a Savage 10FCP 5r that I bought thru Buds Guns. It was not listed under a Savage number, I think it was a special run ordered by another company. The barrel may well have been made by another barrel maker, I do know it will shoot better than I can at present.

I thought "5R" was rounded rifling (less bullet deformation) and "5C" was the canted rifling (less fouling)...
